THE HOLY FAMILY FLEES INTO EGYPT

AN ANGEL appeared to Joseph in his sleep and said, "Arise, take the Child and His Mother; flee into Egypt, and remain there until I shall tell you, for Herod wants to kill the Child." So Joseph took the Child and His Mother and left that very night for Egypt.

Herod killed all the boys in Bethlehem who were two years old or less. After Herod died, the angel told Joseph to return to Nazareth.
